Hello Bryanna,

I gave the wrong number then. It's the wisdom tooth on the upper right side of my mouth. Do you think two and half months after previous extraction should be enough time in between two extractions? The impacted tooth there is giving me no problems, but, as I've said, my surgeon told me there is something he can see on the X-ray, cyst forming and he recommended observing it and, eventually, taking it out.

Thank you!

Hi Tinky,

The upper right wisdom tooth is referred to as tooth #1 in the US. It is not too soon to have this tooth removed providing that you have healed well from the first extraction.

If the dentist sees a cyst forming at the end of the root then yes the tooth should be removed before the cyst gets larger.
